Monitoring Jobs

The Job monitor is available in the Process Monitoring perspective after a Job has been started. It contains three pages that provide detailed information about the parameters with which the Job was executed:

• The Agent-specific page, which is read only
• The Attributes Page, also read-only

• The JCL page, which you can edit if the following is true:

  • Your user definition contains the necessary rights.
  • The job has a status between 1566 and 1799, see System Return Codes of Executable Objects.

  When you open the Job monitor, the JCL page is in read-only mode. Click the Modify button to make it editable.
